Hi,
...
In 1947 Fleming wrote a ... . July is the beginning of the hot season, and it rained in rods every day at noon, yet I swore that if I survived the contest I would go back to Jamaica, buy a piece of land, build a house and live in it as much as my job would allow." ... for Kemsley Newspapers.

Could the bold part above- as much as- be replaced with as/so long as? Thanks for your help!
Good day!
Sincerely

As much as - means he would live in it at every opportunity, unless his job required him to be away from it.
As long as - means he would live in it until his job prevented him from doing so. |
